Black's in Whittingham

[dblun]

Hello All
Wondering if anyone has access to Whittingham Church records or even the churchyard to see if my Black family ...Robert and Elizabeth .. might be resting there. They were married Whittingham Parish Church May 23 , 1874. Robert died 1903 (Callaly High Houses, and Elizabeth June 21 , 1864 in Whittingham. He was a farm Steward and the family lived  in the area .. Crosshills, Dancing Halls, Callaly Cottages etc.
Any info regarding the family would be fantastic as we are planning a trip to the area this summer ,
Thank
Dorothy

I think that the church records will be at the County Record Office at Woodhorn

Hi Dorothy

Whittingham records are at Woodhorn but many of them are badly damaged though I can't remember what the later ones are like.

They are also on freereg - burials up to 1879 (with gaps, because of the damage)

I'm away from home this week but generally speaking I go to Woodhorn on a weekly basis.  If you do need a look up - just ask

Christine ...  Not sure if this is possible but ...
If convenient perhaps you could have a quick look for the birth of Margaret Brown
The 1851 census for Alnwick shows her living with husband Thomas Dixon , one son 2 years and one daughter 2 months ... She is  age 25 years and her birthplace is Northumberland (Clattery). The 1861 census says she was born in Ellingham The couple married at Lamberton Toll.

Margaret and Thomas's Daughter Ellen Dixon Black is my Gt, Grandmother   ..

Thanks for your time and effort on my behalf. I really appreciate you.

Hi Dorothy,

I'll see if I can spot her though I've never heard of Clattery.  The nearest I can get is Clatteringhouses which is close to Ellingham so could be right.

I'll report back Wed. or Thurs.

Me again 

I was going to add the Whittingham burials to my list - just to see whether the later ones are legible.  Can you confirm the year for Elizabeth Black please.  The way I'm reading your post is that she died before she was married

I am suffering from reversal problems ... Marriage date Elizabeth and Robert Black is 1847.  Elizabeth died in 1864  aged 38 years.

I was led to believe that Clatteringhouses was once Clattery.


Wish I was coming with you but the Canadian Rockies is a bit far to travel for an afternoon search.

Thanks so much
Dorothy
